Prior to the risks of the challenge, Netflix urged its Bird Box fans to ignore it.

Can’t believe I have to say this, but: PLEASE DO NOT HURT YOURSELVES WITH THIS BIRD BOX CHALLENGE. We don’t know how this started, and we appreciate the love, but Boy and Girl have just one wish for 2019 and it is that you not end up in the hospital due to memes.

Likewise, in a detailed updated FAQ, Youtube also banned challenges and pranks that makes the victim believe they're in dangerous situations. Moreover, they decided to forbid the ones that make kids experience emotional distress and even the pranks that consist of invading a home or shooting by in-driving.

However, the Bird Box Challenge is not the only dangerous challenge from the social media culture. Before, the internet allowed a Kiki Challenge which initiated people get out of their moving car to dance along to the Drake song.
